Sorry my hands are shaking again as I type, I meant to say that I really need support. I really feel isolated and finding it hard to cope. Does anyone live near Angel in London to meet for a tea. I could not reach out last week but I need people support now and feel like I am sinking.

Hi, so sorry to hear this has happened to you. Can you call in your family for support? I don't live in London or any where near. Sorry.

Do you have other DCs?

trumpton · 03/11/2011 07:21

catherinea1971 · 03/11/2011 07:21

Hang in there:)

If you need to talk to someone right now, please phone the Samaritans - I found them a life saver when I had no one to turn to.

lolaflores · 03/11/2011 07:35

biyboo stay calm. let us know what the situation is, we will try and advise as best we can. I get the feeling this is terrible

biyboo · 03/11/2011 08:11

Please, I really don't have anyone. I feel safer talking with MN people.

I'm not near you either, but talk to us here..

VivaLeBeaver · 03/11/2011 08:25

Biyboo - I'm sorry I'm nowhere near London. Sad

But I can chat on here.

HecateGoddessOfTheNight · 03/11/2011 08:37

Sad I'm really really sorry you are feeling like this.

At the risk of being banned from mumsnet altogether, if it is meeting up that you feel you really want in order to reduce your feelings of isolation, then netmums might actually be a good place to go. They really do do loads of meet a mum stuff.

or have you checked out mumsnet local?

but please - whichever you choose to do - please remember that you will just be meeting a mum, not a counsellor and if you feel you need support beyond a chat & a coffee, you need to go to your gp or something. The person that you meet, if you meet anyone, may not be able to support you. They may just be wanting chat and coffee.

sorry.

When I was at rock bottom I made an appointment with my GP and spent over an hour unburdening and sobbing. But he was wonderful and arranged for me to have counselling. Go and see your GP ((hugs))

UnlikelyAmazonian · 03/11/2011 08:43

Biyboo, keep posting. Have you been to see your doctor? What abouit your health visitor?

When my H ran away I went straight to him and asked for anti-depressants immediately. I saw me HV and she put me in touch with Homestart who sent me a volunteer to come and see me once a week.

I know exactly how you are feeling. I have been there. It's hideous and surreal. Now, can you make a cup of tea for yourself and eat a biscuit? God I wish i was nearer, I would run you a bath and listen to you. I so desperately needed to talk to people.

Why do you feel unsafe talking to people in RL? You have to screw up the courage to get out to your doctor. Just sit in the surgery until you can see someone. Don't bother making an appointment.

Keep posting. How are you doin g right now? Take some deep breaths, your baby needs you. You will come through this.

biyboo · 03/11/2011 08:53

Sorry as I have never been on mumsnet before. I did go to my doctor who said I needed to pull myself together. My normal doctor away but trying to arrang another appointment with another doctor. I can't cope, feel like I am collapsing inside. Everybody is busy.

catherinea1971 · 03/11/2011 09:04

What about your midwife then, I'm sure they will be able to offer some support or point you in the direction of where you can get some support.

I would suggest you contact your midwife anyway so she can give you and baby the once over:)

Lemonylemon · 03/11/2011 09:06

biyboo - I work in Moorgate. Is that any use? I can meet you at lunchtime today for half an hour. Sorry to hear you're going through this.....

While you're waiting for a doctor's appointment, why don't you phone the Samaritans who are there to listen.....

Are you in touch with your husband?

biyboo · 03/11/2011 09:18

Not in touch with him. Sorry as i can hardly think whilst typing and know that I am making all sorts of spelling/writing mistakes. I was born and bred in England. I have cried and cry so much that my eyes are continually stinging and I have a constent headache.

OP posts:
bumbums · 03/11/2011 09:32

Get an emergency appointment with the doc you'd like to see. Don't go another hour without getting on phone and booking appt. Then, once you've done that, do you think you could get dressed and have a little walk? Fresh air would help your headache and help you to calm down.

UnlikelyAmazonian · 03/11/2011 09:37

has your H been in any more contact? Do you have any idea where he is? Where is staying or living? Even if he is still working? i am not suggesting you get in contact, I am just asking . What about his parents/siblings ? xx

SnapesMistress · 03/11/2011 10:04

I really urge you to go to Samaritans, they have meeting rooms where you can talk face to face with someone. They have been trained for this sort of thing and will be a great help.

UnlikelyAmazonian · 03/11/2011 10:05

Biy I have to go out for a short while but will be back and check in again. Shall I pm you my phone number? hang in there girl.

biyboo · 03/11/2011 11:09

His parents and siblings, no way. In fact they are worse and good part of why he is how he is.

tethersend · 03/11/2011 11:12
